Kinetic and Microstructural Studies on the Devitrification of Fe60-xCo18MnxNb6B16 Amorphous Alloys

Kinetic and microstructural studies have been performed on Fe60-xCo18MnxNb6B16 (x = 0, 2, 4) alloys by using different techniques. Isothermal and non-isothermal kinetics agree describing the nanocrystallization as a strongly impinged growth process. Developed microstructure is similar for all the st...

Sumario:Kinetic and microstructural studies have been performed on Fe60-xCo18MnxNb6B16 (x = 0, 2, 4) alloys by using different techniques. Isothermal and non-isothermal kinetics agree describing the nanocrystallization as a strongly impinged growth process. Developed microstructure is similar for all the studied alloys. Nanocrystals are irregularly shaped, ∼20 nm in size, and formed by agglomerates of smaller and more regular units of ∼5 nm diameter. From the present data it is not possible to exclude the presence of Mn atoms inside the crystals. However, a preferential partition of this element into the residual amorphous matrix is clearly derived from Mössbauer results.
